Liquid Level Indicator
10 Installation and Operations Manual
Note Install a Varec manhole or inspection hatch, if there is none located within arms
reach of the tape pipe location. Refer to In-service Tank Installations later in this section
for hatch and manhole installations.
Locate the float at a position inside of the tank where agitation on it will be at a minimum.
Install a deflector if the product stream is close to the float. Contact Varec if agitators will cause
excess float disturbances. Vertical pipe runs must be plumbed and perpendicular to prevent
the tape from binding inside the pipe.
The user must attach the gaugeboard to the tank by welding or bolting the supplied
gaugeboard support brackets. If the environment is such that welding cannot be performed,
the user can construct a support structure with 3-inch [76 mm] pipe or conduit close to the
outside of the tank. The brackets can be welded to the support structure at another location,
if necessary, and the pipe structure assembled at the tank site. Refer to In Service Tank
Installations later in this section for additional details.
Warning The user should comply with all applicable regulations, codes, and standards.
For safety precautions, the user should refer to the appropriate industry or military
standards.
